Angie’s Dad - Jon Voight responds to Roseanne!

Angie’s Dad - Jon Voight responds to Roseanne!

After Roseanne Barr blasted Angelina Jolie and her father Jon Voight, the Midnight Cowboy actor responded to Barr via Extra. Here is Roseanne’s blog entry in case you missed it. Jon’s response is below:

“Answer to Roseanne Barr’s Rant:

We can never be surprised at what vile evil comes from the mouth of a confessed victim of child abuse at the hands of her own parents.

Her parents responded to the accusation by going on the air and slating she is a psychopathic liar and her sister agreed.

Her defaming of our National Anthem in 1990 gave us insight into who she is and what she is capable of saying and doing.

My allegiance to Senator McCain becomes stronger with any assault that tries to deter my loyalty to him.

I can only pray that good people see her for what she is (sick of mind).

-Jon Voight

YIKES!

WHO DO YOU THINK is more “sick of mind” — Roseanne or Jon Voight?

Pingy-ponga @ 08/19/2008 at 6:04 pm

At least he is sayng something good for once.

team jolie of course

maybe they should marry to balance out their insane behaviours…lol

I think Roseanne what’s attention because her career in Hollywood is over. Roseanne is pathetic.

she is most definitely “sick of mind”
im with voight on this one

They’re both crazy.

I agree with Voight. Wish he and Angie could patch things up.

I don’t agree with Voight supporting McCain, but I’m definitely with him in telling Roseanne Wildebeest to STFU.

Now watch all the Jenhags who attacked Angelina for not having a relationship with her father, start attacking Jon Voight for sticking up for his daughter. The vultures are going to have a field day with this one.

Exactly where did he stick up for his daughter? He stuck up for McCain and said not one word about what she said about his daughter or her children. Wow, more loyalty for the politician than for his own daughter. Priceless.

Both of them are insane.

Katcolins @ 08/19/2008 at 6:18 pm

I don’t agree with Roseanne but Voight is a nutjob!

She is disgusting piece of trash and showed her self when she disrespected the National Anthem and most every other time she opens her mouth.

andamentothat @ 08/19/2008 at 6:20 pm

So Jon Voight really keeps up with Angie’s news and has a statement to release on every occasion.. I am happy he stuck up for his daughter even under the veil of his political support… I can already see this being mentioned on O’reilly and Jon doing a guest segment and ranting… Oh Well Roseanne deserves to be told that she is batshit crazy!

voight disgusts me.

yeah, thanks Jon for shooting back with something. that was completely uncalled for, what Roseanne did.

Way to go dad. I’m glad he spoke up. I’m not for McCain but Roseanne had no right insulting them. She is so disgusting, I would never want Roseanne to support me.

She’s nuts, but I wouldn’t have given her the time of day if I were Jon Voight.

Jon will never use Angelina’s name in the press again. That is why she stopped talking to him.

He defended her in the only way he could, by shooting the messenger and not involving his daughter. WELL DONE!!!!

both of them are and they both suuck :s

“Confessed” victim of child abuse? Since when is being abused a crime worthy of confession? And since when does being abused automatically make a person ‘evil’???(!!!)

I think her remarks about Angie and Brad are valid even if they are harsh. 3 mil a year to charity is a small pr price to pay for a 40 mil a year pay check!

Shame on you John Voight, you abused Angelena and her mom and yet you have the NERVE to imply that it’s the abused that are evil and whose minds are to be called to question when the truth is YOU are! The abusers are the sick ones! And you abused Angie AND her MOM! That is why you can’t see your own grandkids!!! You nut! :)

they are both crazy
but i think Roseanne was at fault on this one
what she said was totally uncalled for

Old fool should go hide himself and shut up his dirty mouth.

cindyjean @ 08/19/2008 at 6:25 pm

I don’t think it had anyting to do with his loyalty, more to do with respect. I believe he knows his daughter to be strong willed and minded and that she will fight her own battles. If he had said anything in the media defending her, it would have started far more back and forth discussion and eventually he’d have been backed in a corner having said too much or the wrong thing. I believe he’s learned from history and chose his words carefully out of respect for that history. I’m pretty pleased with his response. I’d have felt inclined to comment, but probably gone overboard. He said enough, but ended it. There’s no room with what he said to do the back and forth slandering now. Good for him.

Thank you Jon Voight for pointing out how similar Roseanne and Angelina are! Roseanne’s family said she has mental problems, just like Jon Voight went on TV and told the world of Angelina’s mental problems…

Not that we needed confirmation anyway. The time she checked herself into the psych ward at UCLA made it plenty clear that she is unstable!!! :)

I think that she is not a very nice person! Why is she attacking Angy and her dad(I heat Angy’s dad) but she has no right to attack anyone, she most need a lot of publicity.

Adoring Fan @ 08/19/2008 at 6:28 pm

He is. Cheated on his wife, called his daughter crazy in the media and is not allowed to see his grandchildren. His daughter kicked him to the curb for good reason He wants sympathy and publicity. Roseanne just wants publicity. She is the winner.

Rosanne Barr made a political viewpoint PERSONAL. This is(supposedly) a free country with the freedom to make your voting choice with respect and dignity. We do not need abusive people denigrating our choices, bringing our very good deeds down to a base level for no good reason and generally putting bad feelings on all the good works we try to do.

Rosanne seems like (and I don’t know her) a very negative minded person who easily spreads her own negativity anywhere she can. I would rather listen to and align myself with positive people.

************************************************************************

Um… honey, she doesn’t give 3 mil a year to charity, she gives ONE-THIRD OF HER INCOME a year to charity. The J-P foundation, which supports various charities, is a matter of public record. Just google it.

And if you want to get nit-picky, how much does your fugly idol — not mentioning names — give to charity? $10,000? $20,000? $100,000 even? Whatever she gives, it’s chump change next to what Angelina gives.

Do your homework next time before you come yapping on here.

oopps i said it twice.lol

Oh my i think they are both acting crazy.

cindyjean @ 08/19/2008 at 6:33 pm

Thank goodness none of us ever ever make a mistake, get sick, have a nervous or mental condition and get better. Because we should never be considered treated and well; our past should follow us around constantly and be forevermore thrown in our face, no matter how good or productive a life we now lead. Thank goodness we have so many perfect people in this world, and inciteful, who know that their future will always be perfect. They’ll never be incapacitated, or overwhelmed or have anything in their life go wrong.

As for Roseanne, I actually liked her until this column; I thought she was pretty basic and down to earth. Problem is she’s never gotten well. Her mental condition continues to eat at her and make her hateful. That’s a darn shame.

overreaction anyone? @ 08/19/2008 at 6:35 pm

Roseanne bashes Brangelina and everyone is saying she is “sick.” I’m not aware of her previous comments but in this case, I think it might be a little overreaction by the devout followers of the Brangelina cult.

All hale Brangelina!

both Voight and Barr are vile!

which one is which? @ 08/19/2008 at 6:36 pm

I can’t tell whether Jon V or Roseanne B is the pot or the kettle?

I don’t know what caused the wedge between Jon Voight and Angelina nor am I really all that interested in finding out but I hope in time that can heal it.

However I’m getting tired of seeing him becing called a nutjob or an old fool because he supports John McCain. That’s allowed. And this is coming from an Obama supporter.

As far as Roseanne goes well she’s absolutely pathetic.

Roseanneisinsane @ 08/19/2008 at 6:39 pm

Definately team Voight. I don’t know how any sane person can defend the crazy Roseanne. Why is Joh Voight a nutjob? I’m voting for Obama and I’m the polar politcal opposite of Voight but he has every right to support McCain.

Roseanne crossed the line with her vicious attack against Voight, Angelina and Brad. She’s not doing Obama any favors. Roseanne shoud just shut up. Obama doesn’t need a psychotic ***** supporting him. I’ve read that Roseanne is a mentally ill drunk whose been very ausive to her children. Instead of attacking other celebrities Roseanne needs to be institutionalized!

roseanne barr is really a sick person

#12

I totally agree with you.

He is not even defending his daughter . He’s defending Mcstain. lol

No wonder Ange doesn’t really want him in her life anymore.

cindyjean @ 08/19/2008 at 6:44 pm

Overreaction, I can’t speak for anyone else, but myself……. nah, I’d have said Roseanne was off base if she’d said it about anyone, even someone I don’t like. I don’t have a devout allegience to AJ or BP; they’re people doing their job and a little more in this world, which I think is good. However, when a celebrity uses personal comments to try to bully people in this wonderful FREE country into voting a certain way, publicly, that’s just plain UNAMERICAN. Roseanne could have stood on her soapbox and said why people should vote for Obama without being so venemous and just plain vile and especially personal. She’s not been the most responsible and committed person in her past but because she “sees the light” now, she feels she needs to be listened too. So does my teenager!

Mr and Mrs Smith @ 08/19/2008 at 6:46 pm

overreaction anyone? @ 08/19/2008 at 6:35 pm

Roseanne bashes Brangelina and everyone is saying she is “sick.”
_____________________________________

No, the “sick” comments are from the fact that she went too far by insulting their children. I don’t care if someone doesn’t like Brad and Angie, hey, ALOT of people insulted them from the time they were together. Angie especially was called all sorts of names by the press especially in 2005/2006. So, insulting Brad and Angie isn’t new to us. But when you rant and rave like a crazy person and involve children in it, you’ve gone too far. I actually didn’t care about her statements because it just showed what a crazy person she was and made HER look bad in general and not Brad and Angie. She attacked them just because Angie said she’s not decided on who to vote for. Who does that? Roseanne even said that she liked Angie until she heard that Angie likes McCain, except, her information is wrong as Angie has NEVER said she liked McCain. Of course she couldn’t get the nationality of Maddox right either, he’s Cambodian, not Thai. IMO

is he crazy??? He just attacked victims of child abuse! What a totall and utter jerk!

it's called free speech @ 08/19/2008 at 6:48 pm

CINDYJEAN, it’s called FREE SPEECH and it’s very AMERICAN. She may be a bit off of her rocker but does she need to be committed cuz she doesn’t like Brad/Angelina…no.

And bully us? Isn’t that what O’Reilly/Hannity & Colmes/Countdown/ do everyday?

I’m glad he responded to her craziness. Though he’s a little looney, too, and has said mean things about his daughter to the press……….probably why he didn’t defend Angie - he knows to keep his mouth shut now about her, even if he has something positive to say about her.

#39 i agree with you!

They are very good people! At least they give some money to charity! I bet u guys dont give away money like that!

Thay roseanne is a crazy *****! What have she done for charity?

I liked his response to the whacko.

your royal highness @ 08/19/2008 at 6:55 pm

Wow Roseanne is a NASTY, JEALOUS and BITTER Women.

You go Jon Voight.. I’m not a big fan of Brad and Angelina movies… but I do love the work they are doing for humanity..

Anyone voting for McCain is ’sick of mind.’

hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

While I knew Angelina and Brad wouldn’t giver her the time of day, it NEVER occured to me that Voight would say something. I don’t know why.

Bubbaness @ 08/19/2008 at 7:12 pm

They’re both ridiculous. Trading barbs about their families when every single one of them is and has screwed up is like the pot calling the kettle black. The fact that Jon Voight’s own daughter won’t speak to him and he STILL feels the need to come swooping to her “rescue” in just as much a childish manner as Roseanne did in the first place is just laughable.

LOONYrose @ 08/19/2008 at 7:15 pm

Roseanne is bankrupt, so she’s trying to get some air time somebody might offer her a job. Maybe she should go beg the producers of DWTS….. but they will just kick her out BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

Team Jolie ALL the way!!!

Lillianne @ 08/19/2008 at 7:17 pm

That’s what you get when you throw the first grenade.

Voight -His daughter knows him and wants nothing to do with him.
Angelina knows what sort of secret sick puppy he is.

LOL These two deserve eachother.

Next weeks Us Weeklys Headline: Hot New Couple: Roseanne and Jon Voight!

She is stupid and crazy. I am gald he put her in her place.
We all expected you to insulting him because of his relationship his daughther? This is nothing got to do his realtion ship with Angie. lol we know this comming. This haters are st*pid. They are making me to hate OBAMA.

Go Roseanne! She made sense - why is Angie undecided if she is so into human rights?

2 THINGS TO SAY:
GO VOIGHT! &
GO JOHN MCCAIN!!!

I am gald he didn’t say anything about angie. But I am gald he defended himeelf from this evil crazy woman attacks.

Your problem is that you bewilderingly take the word of Roseanne as fact as to what the Jolie Pitts earn and what they donate. Why in the world would an intelligent person look for facts in an ill thought out screed. Why would you even think that Roseanne would know these figures. She clearly hasn’t even bothered to Google - not that a search would give her a definitive answer.

It’s been reported on tax forms that the JPs gave up $8 million in one year alone for the use by just one of their charitable foundations alone. No one outside a small number of people knows how much they make or actually take home.

Voight’s point about the child abuse is that Roseanne’s “recovered memory” accusations were refuted by her parents and by her sister. His point is that she is a liar and she lies and makes outrageous claims to get attention and for publicity. Her accusations against her parents may just be unforgivable.

I think that Voight handled this the right way by deflating the attacker and pointing out why she should not be believed. That certainly was in defense of his daugter and her family as well as his candidate.

At least JV did not go after Barr’s kids and there is lots to tell. So he is much better than she will ever be.

groundcontrol @ 08/19/2008 at 7:34 pm

Anon @ 08/19/2008 at 7:22 pm Go Roseanne! She made sense - why is Angie undecided if she is so into human rights?

And what makes you think that Obama is the candidate capable of protecting human rights around the globe? If the wind shifts or protecting human rights gets in the way of his election then he’ll throw the next set of victims under the bus just like he has his lifelong pals the hate filled homophobic ministers and his own grandmother.

montana mike @ 08/19/2008 at 7:49 pm

i don’t care about the political aspect of this whole thing, but i definitely applaud jon for sticking up for his daughter. that’s what dads do even when in his situation with angie.

you're all f'd @ 08/19/2008 at 7:49 pm

Maybe we should all concentrate on the ridiculous problems here in the US. Is everyone here doing so well that they can focus on the problems of others? I highly doubt it. Bush f*cked us and McCain will just continue on. If you think differently, you’re a moron and I hope you don’t vote!

you're all f'd @ 08/19/2008 at 7:50 pm

really, is there not a character limit?

Jon Should Reply! @ 08/19/2008 at 7:52 pm

Possibly Angie wont reply to Rosies nonsense b/c she has been above the crap in the press about her for yrs.
But Jon Voight altho not my fav person had all the right in the world to respond to Rosies obnoxious political bull.

Wouldnt doubt this message from Rosie was meant for Jon Voight.
How dare he speak out about his political choices like nobody else has. I am not an american but figured Jon Voight would reply.
No matter what JV said he had more class in his baby finger than Rosie had in her whole body.

This is the same Jon Voight who wrote an article in the Washington Times a few weeks ago where he basically called Barack Obama evil, so I have no sympathy for someone criticizing him for his whacked out beliefs. And it’s not because he is a Republican but because of the vile rhetoric he used to announce his support for McCain and to denigrate Obama. It was totally out of line and borderline crazy. He is hardly a paragon of sanity or fatherhood and if anyone really believes he was defending his daughter or her children, then you are sadly mistaken. He had no compunction about going on television after the birth of the twins and talk about how he wishes he could see his grandchildren, but he had to see them in People like everyone else. He is as much a publicity ***** and an ideological bully as Roseanne. Team Neither.

I am not a brangelina fan but Roseanne should not have made those comments and Jon Voight should have done a better job sticking up for his daughter.

ifyoucouldbeanytree @ 08/19/2008 at 8:12 pm

they are both going very far and really arent an example of peace.

just wondering @ 08/19/2008 at 8:12 pm

Shame on you Kim (post above)! How much money do you give to charity? Do you also give countless hours of your time to help others like the Jolie-Pitts? Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. They are good people. Roseanne Barr is the nut.

PLEASE PEOPLE NOBODY PAYS ATTENTION TO ROSEANNE BARR! SHE WANTS TO REVIVE HER CAREER BY HITTING ON THE MOST FAMOUS COUPLE! SHE IS A HOPELESS LUNATIC!

Why should Voight keep quiet when Rosanne insulted him and his daughter in the most malignant way?? She’s so low-class her vile mouth spews nothing but jealousy and ill-intent for others. Shame on her and the rest of her BIG body.

…why is Angie undecided if she is so into human rights?
——-
Angie wants the troops to stay in Iraq, not to fight, but to help refugees come back home and resettle in their country. There are about four million Iraqi refugee and displaced people, now mainly in Syria and Jordan. The invasion caused/made the refugees.
I think it’s totally reasonable to expect the troops to fix what they have caused, the destruction of Iraq’s infrastructure and people fleeing to other countries.
Secondly, as UNHCR goodwill ambassador, Angie has to deal with whatever government is elected, so it’s wise for her to keep her vote to herself. Anyway, her vote is nobody’s business.

I’m glad Angie’s father spoke up against that horrible woman.

Good for you Jon! Put her in her rightful place.

I bet this just made Angelina very proud of her father.

TEAM JOLIE, of course!

So? Obama’s supporters call McCain evil for wanting to stay in Iraq. Both sides express their opinions, to which they are entitled.

He is hardly a paragon of sanity or fatherhood and if anyone really believes he was defending his daughter or her children, then you are sadly mistaken.
He was a bad father, but that was long ago. He didn’t need to speak up against Barr, but he did. Good for him!

He had no compunction about going on television after the birth of the twins and talk about how he wishes he could see his grandchildren, but he had to see them in People like everyone else.
What does this have to do with the subject??? I’m sure he does want to see them, and I think he will before too long.

Hello to all fans from Europe! I just read Roseanne blog here on JJ, I have no comment, I think it is her way to be in the public, I have to say that I almost forgot who is she, she is really nobody here in Europe, at least I think that …

Also, I have to say that I agree with you Orchid, like always, this is a great post from you! I don’t follow political situation in America, I know that you people must decide between Obama and McCain, again, I don’t know nothing about them, but I don’t understand how could Roseanne or anybody attack Angelina if she is undecided?!? Just like Orchid said “her vote is nobody’s business”, she is UN ambassador and I really do think that she wants to keep her vote to herself, it is very smart thing to do! I am not a big fan of Jon Voight but I think that he had all the right to spoke against Roseanne, again it is a free world, they all have all the right to say whatever they want, and probably with person like Roseanne this is the only way … I really like the fact that he didn’t mention Angelina’s name in his response, smart thing to do!

Again, greetings from Europe, and I am sorry for all my grammar mistakes, I am little bit tired, good night to all J-P fans!!

I don’t know what to say with this one. I like Roseanne, she’s a good comedian and I agree with her political views. I don’t understand what prompted her to go off on Angelina and Brad however.

I love the Jolie-Pitts and I wish she just didn’t say anything.

Voight is ridiculous though. Why did he even respond? And to Extra? If he thinks that’s gonna win Angie over he should think again.

WHOA…

HAHAHA

SOMETHING TELLS ME THE NEXT EXCHANGE IS GONNA
FISTS NOT WORDS!

place your bets.. ;)

passing Through @ 08/19/2008 at 8:42 pm

These two lobbing insults at one another is the pot calling the kettle black. They’re BOTH off their freaking rockers!

Team Jolie

Roseanne, my goodness…please go into your medicine cabinet and take your meds.

JV is right!!! Surprisingly he didn’t mention AJ… the man is getting classy :)

J.Voight is insane but, for the first time I agree with him. Roseanne is a stupid.

Rosanne was not mentioned on “ACCESS”, ET OR “INSIDER”. SO far I only heard on the “Daily 10″ and he was making a joke out of it. Think everyone knows that this woman is nothing. I agree that Angie has the right to be undecided and the right to support who ever she wants. No one has the right to trash anyone for who do support and certainly not the right to trash her children. How would Rosie feel if someone trashed her kids. She is definitely trash.

overreaction anyone? @ 08/19/2008 at 6:35 pm

Roseanne bashes Brangelina and everyone is saying she is “sick.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

hmmmm, so you don’t think that someone who thinks:

Their families are victims of America’s right wing military incursions too. Mccain wants to continue with the idea of war for profit…the americans are over that thinking now! They have drugged our troops and lower classes into supporting their oil business atrocities for long enough.

to be somewhat stupid??

BTW, was Lyndon Johnson the president of the USA when Vietnam and Cambodian war was on?? Isn’t he a democrat?

And shouldn’t any good American protest the view that good fine american soldiers are being DRUGGED into serving their nation?

LOL, never mind. You are right. No one ought to take this CRAZY woman seriously other than have a laugh at her

Shame on RoseAnne @ 08/19/2008 at 8:54 pm

One day after blasting Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on her blog, Roseanne Barr is backing off.
The former “Roseanne” star took to her blog again on Tuesday, offering an apology of sorts to the superstar couple.
In a post titled “I do not know Brangelina,” she writes, “[I] do not mean to personally impugn them as they might be good people .

ROSEANNE IS AN ASSH***.CRAZY WOMAN

JJ, I would still have preferred you put up a thread for Brad’s MIR project. Thanks.

I think she’s right.. brad & angelina do a lot of things but there is a lot more coming on on the world…and it’s just like…they do eveything they do because that will justify all the easy money they have

Thank you @ 08/19/2008 at 8:55 pm

You know, those two pics you have here of JV and RB look like they would make an attractive couple. Can you imagine RB as AJ’s stepmother. Boy, that is just what AJ needs.. someone in her life to call her on her shite. Boy, people do get touchy when it comes to politics.

voight has the right to endorse anyone he wants, like what most other celebrities are doing with obama. we live in a free world, and roseann was wrong to call him out on his decision of endorsement.

she should be ashamed, and all the power to ya voight!

——–
Roseann Bar has gone off on MANY people. That seems to be her path in life since she essentially doesn’t have a career in show business. Her blogs are filled with tirades against anything that doesn’t fit in the realm of her ability to influence, which is just about everything. She comes off as totally irrational and unstable; she has for a long time. I guess she should be pitied. She use to be respected, now she’s reduce to blogging for attention.

If you are this naive about how interconnected the world is then you shouldn’t be voting. We are all in this together - in terms of the environment, energy, human rights, you name it and whether we do well or not depends on how well others in the world are doing. This is increasingly the case and your refusal to see the world as it really is won’t keep you safe and “doing well.”

Get your head out of the sand and educate yourself on the world as it is today. What are they teaching in schools now anyway?

And at the end of the day, “Saint Angelina” is still famous, rich, respected, beautiful, the mother of six beautiful children and the partner of the hottest guy in Hollywood, and you’re still a fat ugly bitter lonely hag spewing crap on a blog. Quack quack.

Major props to Jon Voight for standing up for Angie.
Roseanne is always a bitter, angry crazy woman who missing being relevant. Hope she crawls back under her rock.

I sure hope that you are not a woman. Your misogyny is completely insulting to women.

I think we women have tolerated enough BS hate-filled and ignorant insults during this presidential campaign to last a lifetime. Jolie’s detractors - particularly the emotionally and intellectually disabled females - are especially misogynistic.

And what’s worse - you’re not even remotely funny.

In any event, I have reported your post as abuse and asked that it be deleted.

RoseAnn Blogging Drunk @ 08/19/2008 at 9:28 pm

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2008/08/roseanne-barr.html

RoseAnn Barr talks about getting a bottle and getting drunk the day before she wrote in her blog about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ..er also John Voight.

Roseann is crazy enough without adding alcohol.

I dont care who either one of these people vote for and also think Jon Voight is entitled to his opinion as well.

I remember Rosie doing that to her parents as Rosie and Tom Arnold her hubby at the time were going to write abook about it.

Hmm no book and Roseann was outed on all the daytime talk shows as a nut and a huge liar.

So Jon Voight got that right.

hahahahaha This is good, I hate Voight but he knows how to defend himself. The thing about child abuse was pretty low, but the other woman is racist and shes attacking the JPs children, shes not better than him.
Angie and Brad will stay out of this, they don’t give a s hit about the nuts and losers out there, they will receive what they deserve, ask Jenny. hahah

Celeb watcher @ 08/19/2008 at 9:28 pm

Voight is dead on.

Roseanne just wanted attention! she’s a lunatic! i can’t believe that I used to like her show a little.

What’s worst than Roseann or John are any of you weirdos who praise, defend, or bash ANY of these famous people. Reality check you don’t know them, and letting their political views even influence you a bit imakes you crazier than they are. They want and need the attention, and like mindless monkees you fall for it every time and give them what they crave. Go take care of yourself, read a legit newspaper or political blogs, educate yourself and form your own opinion. I could give a sh*t about who Angie, Bradie, Rosie or Johnie vote for. Any person of that wealth and ability should be helping other people, they should not be sainted for it. None of that makes any of them political experts. If you had a brain and didn’t let your obsession with fame take over, you would see that. Oh and if Angie wasn’t as pretty as she is you wouldn’t even give a sh*t about how many kids she adoptetd. What a bunch of losers.

Sickos @ 08/19/2008 at 9:38 pm

150 words Do you see the irony?

…umm…I don’t know but I think the rosie and the donald fight was much hissier…hahahhahahahahaha

Roseanne Barr is completely out of line. High five to Jon Voight.

EFF JON VOIGHT. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone even knows that Roseanne is still alive unless she does these rants at other celebrities, she is such a D list act that she got passed up to sit on the View. She is a mess has always been a mess. Roseanne really shouldn’t be judging how other people live their lives, you know that saying …. people who live in glass houses shouldn’t be throwing stones

Mr Voight, your starting to sound like a father, keep it up.

God, keep blessing and watching over the Jolie-Pitt family.

omg . roseanne got it handed to her . that fat ho’

who cares jerk? @ 08/19/2008 at 10:29 pm

I can’t stand that warmonger bastid, Jon Voight. Nobody gives a schitt who he votes for. He acts like it is a badge of honor for one warmonger to vote for another warmonger.

That punk Jon is not standing up for Angie, if he cared about Angie he would have raised her., and not have abandoned her. He is a hypocrite too, with his foolish rightwing nut pride.

Thank You Jon Voight. She acts and talks like she’s possessed.

yay, im with voight on this one…. Thank to him support his own daughter… i hate rosanne.. She total jealous bec of fans love Angie anyway so Rosanne not….. that s why she jealous of Smack Angie… Angie is my best action… Thank to Voight!!!!!!!!!!!!! I proud of him stand up for his daughter Angie…

Exactly where did he stick up for his daughter? He stuck up for McCain and said not one word about what she said about his daughter or her children. Wow, more loyalty for the politician than for his own daughter. Priceless.
**********************************
Bravo.. Somebody besides me noticed that he was not sticking up for his daughter, he was sticking up for McCain, and defiending himself for voting for that warmonger. I can’t stand that right-wing nut.

Totally right to say what he did.

Well Jon has learned to defend her remarks about him and John McCain and not make a statement regarding what she said about Angelina. That part was wise but he stooped to her level when he brought her her painful past as a child. His point could have been taken without bringing up child abuse. They both should SHUT UP!!!

It’s an even toss up in the crazy department

Roseanne Barr is sick person & needs help badly.

Good Reply Mr. Voight @ 08/19/2008 at 10:51 pm

Somehow i dont think Angelina Jolie wants her father sticking up for her. I believe she could do a good enough job of that by herself if she so chose to.

I am glad Voight spoke the truth about Roseann being outed as a liar whackjob. For Angies sake its good that Voight left Angie out of his response .

You did okay Jon! Actually you went easy on the unstable witch.

If Rosie had such a painful past maybe people would feel pity or sympathy for her. Roseanns parents did not want to go on National TV to prove to the world their daughter was a pathological liar with mental problems. Roseanne Barr did that all by her little ole self. Well with the help of her then called opportunist new husband (long gone now) Tom Arnold. I forgot about him for a min.
Those two together were a story and a half.

Roseann and Tom were going to write a book on poor Roseanns abusive childhood. As it turns out lie detector tests were done and Roseann failed all of the Nationally publicised tests while her parents passed with flyng colors. They were elderly people and they certainly didnt appear too excited about being on TV to prove their innocence or even want to badmouth their daughter.
All of it was Roseann Barrs call.

Rosseann B is crazy so wheh she got busted for accusing her parenst of child abuse rape etc thats when people found out the truth that none of that happened to her soooo calling her crazy and not adding liar to it didnt seem to make much difference back then b/c nobody cared anymore knowing what she did to her poor parents.
If anything people felt sorry for her parents b/c watching Roseanns looney behavior after the faux accusations made you realize even more what a joke she was. Say g,bye to Roseanns poor me book.$$$$$$$$$$$ . I am sure Tom Arnold cried over that one.
He thought for sure the concocted book was going to be a hit .$$$$$$$$$$$$

Jon is not defending Angie, he is defending himself and McCain. Jon can talk sh*t to Roseanne, a woman. When a man, Donald Trump was trashing Angie from one talk show to the next, Voight did not open his mouth to defend Angie against Trump.

WOW Mr. Voight! @ 08/19/2008 at 11:34 pm

It’s totally understandable. Roseanne crossed the line. Yes Voight and Jolie have had their share of problems. Yes, he can ask his daughter to seek help, but don’t YOU do it. Barr was talking about his baby. Jolie will always be his baby girl and I’m sure that he does love her and now really respects the way she has turned her life around and is finally happy.

Any parent who loves his/her child would speak up when that child is attacked.

Considering that Voight has accused his own daughter of being mentally ill and needing therapy - publicly attacking her for adopting Maddox when she did - stating that she was emotionally unstable, calling his granddaughter Zahara by the name of Shakira—-hmmm, he doesn’t have much standing to attack Roseanne’s family. Mr. Voight clean out your own closets first.

LOL. Barr apologizes -kind of- to Angelina and Brad.

One day after blasting Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on her blog, Roseanne Barr is backing off.

The former “Roseanne” star took to her blog again on Tuesday, offering an apology of sorts to the superstar couple.

In a post titled “I do not know Brangelina,” she writes, “[I] do not mean to personally impugn them as they might be good people in the flesh, but the media’s images of them are smelly and vile, and I must always attack the media’s representation of what is good or cool.”

Roseanne continued, lashing out against bloggers and the media, who were quick to report on her Monday remarks.

“Those who inhabit the media world of glamour and entertainment and fashion and gossip are horrid people who have no talent of any kind, and yet think of themselves as tastemakers,” she continued.

At that time AJ was probably not speaking at all to her father, and he was probably worried to say anything. Now AJ has said that she and her father have spoken already, so I guess he feels free to comment, although he didn’t mention her name. Anyway, that was then.

This is now. Roseanne attacked AJ, and JV attacked Roseanne, so although he didn’t mention AJ at all, what he said to Roseanne is certainly nice for AJ.

Orchid , this is not nice for Angelina. She doesn’t need that fool to speak for her. He has not even met his grandchildren for reasons that are pretty obvious now. He’s an ass and probably just as crazy as Roseanne.

Happy Birthday, MF.

[I] do not mean to personally impugn them as they might be good people in the flesh, but the media’s images of them are smelly and vile,
****************************************************************************

That fatass hippopotamus is talking about smelly and vile? She must be smelling her upper lip.

Jon voight, DonalD Trump , ryan seacrust, and Zeta Jones’ husband are all the same. Angie bashers.

All of them have attacked Angelina at one point or another. ********! Plus, BP didn’t defend Angelina against Dumpo truck or zeta’s husband (whatshisname), or Seacrust either. Pitt is a big *****, too and is probably still friendly with all of those guys. Just like Voight.

Yawn

I’m glad that JV did not speak for Angelina or it might seem that Angelina had asked her father to speak on her behalf.

Angelina has always spoken up for herself, when she wants to or authorised her Manager Geyer Kosinski or now, her charitable advisor Trevor Nielson to say something. She doesn’t need her dad or her brother or anyone else to speak for her and frankly, I’m glad. Nor does she make a habit of speaking about other famous people.

Because you only have to look at x to say what a hot mess she has made by using her publicist to plant stories , getting her goddess circle friends to speak for her or David Arquette (remember his interview with David Stern??) to speak for her.

Funny daddy Jon didn’t say a damn thing when his daughter was insulted by Trump and Michael Douglas. But he comes out swinging when someone criticizes McCain.

Madrid, Spain 08-20-08 6:38 am

Jon Voight responded appropriately. The thrust of his defense is to attack Barr’s past history, her own transgressions and credibility. Voight’s argue persuasively that Barr’s sacreligious acts against our National Anthem and the US flag, are in of themselves, UNAMERICAN. Afterall, Old Glory and the Land of the Brave are America’s shining symbols.

The attack against him and his daugther were unwarranted, and motivated by desire for attention and political pressure to vote for Obama. POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY ! Barr was dead wrong. Jolie is a very stubborn woman and will not be bullied, pressured, nor persuaded by a lunatic.

Voight argument is compelling and even persuasive That his argument was limited to his own defense, and left Jolie out is brilliant - respecting his daughter’s silence and knowing that she is her own woman, and aptly able to defend herself. Brilliant strategy !

For once, father and daughter genes are overwhelming evidence that indeed they have the same DNA - intelligent and ably capable of defending themselves, individually - father voicing his political opinion, and daugther stubbornly maintaining her individualism and choice. Albeit with different political persuasions, maybe, just maybe they can begin to heal the past.

It has been argued that Jolie’s vote is her own business. I beg to differ. Jolie has become a political figure - a strong, intelligent advocate for education and children of conflict. Our country has flawed political, social, and foreign policies. Jolie is a strong advocate for reform. For that reason alone, her choice for POTUS will be controversial, criticized and always be scrutinized, regardless.

I am a pragmatist - we are in an unwanted war. There are 4-6 million refugees in Iraq-Iran-Syrian Border. Jolie’s choice to have our troops deployed in these region is a necessary evil to protect these refugees. They lost their homes and love ones, driven out from their own country, and not by their own choosing. Let’s not forget the cold fact - WE INVADED THEIR COUNTRY IN THE NAME OF OIL ! We owe these refugees a safe return to their own native land and rebuild their country. I applaud Jolie’s difficult choice, her pragmatism and realistic brain.

As in Islamabad, when pressure are mounting and criticisms that a “celebrity actress” is negotiating for better treatments of 100 displaced Afhgans, Jolie’s conscience was her only guide - to do the right thing. She’s a strong woman, and will weather the consequences of that choice.

Jolie for President !

Go John, well said!

=========
Oh really why she didn’t research first about their humanitarian work or about the couple before attacking them???? That’s not an apology IMO. She’s like an X fans who always believe in what they read in tabloid magz.

Well Rosanne you’re blog is part of entertainment gossip since you believe in every gossip you read so include yourself to that HORRID PEOPLE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT !!!

Marvelousmegan @ 08/20/2008 at 12:58 am

Voight wins my vote for more sick in the mind. Pardon me for not understanding why anyone in the right state of mind would support McCain “with more loyalty.” I might add I’m saddened that he couldn’t be loyal to Marcheline during the marriage…I don’t know his reasoning for McCain. Republicans claim to have morals…cheating on one’s wife is not moral. Nor is lying Cindy McCain!!! Go OBAMA!!!

I disagree! You’re right that AJ doesn’t need anyone to speak for her, but her father is free to say what he wants. He didn’t criticize his daughter. He criticized the woman who criticized his daughter. That, imo, is good for his daughter.

The fact that he hasn’t seen his grandchildren is a separate issue. Not too long ago, AJ has said, if the story is true, that she and her father have been in contact, but want the relationship to be private.

JV can’t turn the clock back and be a perfect father, he can’t undo what he said about AJ on TV, but he CAN try to be a good father and grandfather for the rest of his life. I think that’s what he wants to do. He IS AJ’s father and the grandfather of her and Brad’s children.

J.V is waaaaaaaayyyyy More psychologically impared! He even looks it!

Maybe Jon should get his info straight on singing the national anthem.
Rosanne, has said many times that she was put up to simging and had tried to excape doing it, but had no choice. Jon should realize how such things work, or at least he should of tried to talk Angie out of doing Tomb Raider(ouch and the second.) Good for Rosanne, she should have said those things, Brad and Angie make me sick….

Oh she had no choice? Who held a gun to her head?

There’s always a choice and she exercised hers. She chose to sing the anthem like a shrieking banshee and totally disrespected it.

And she chose to grab her crotch and spit at the audience when they booed her performance.

She’s a no-class piece of trash who should slither back under her rock and stay there.

the only one that is vile is there daughter they brought up blood vile angie jolie..real great job to the parents!

Are you saying only Republicans cheat? Democrats never lie? Are the Kennedys and John Edwards Republicans?
Are you only sad that JV cheated on his wife, or do you also criticize ALL the men who cheated/were not loyal to their wives? How do we know that in ALL the splits, the men were to blame?

I didn’t pay attention to the candidates, until the Saddleback Forum. I can see why part of the population (a high percentage of them Evangelists) support McCain.

Just because JV doesn’t support your candidate doesn’t make him sick in the mind. He probably thinks the same about Obama supporters!

I support Roseanne, even though I may not agree with everything she says.

Ice skater @ 08/20/2008 at 1:35 am

first time i’ve ever agreed with voight. but roseanne’s out of her tree. this is why she cannot get another tv project going. she’s washed up.

AJ put the gun to her head, what must you be thinking. P.R.PLease we need some, where losing it.

Where did you read/hear this? Is there a link?

She is a lunatic. John Voight has a right to his political beliefs. Rosanne attacked his daughter because he likes McCain, she’s a freaking nut.

jenho fans should just go and defend their idol after being dumped a hundred times instead of posting on angie’s thread. Their idol needs more help cleaning up her botoxed face

i think roseanne wants to ride on the popularity of brangelina..she wants to be controversial so people will notice her.. she wants attention.. why bring up the past on angie..roseanne, you’re just envious of what brangelina has..obviously, you’re getting bitter and unhappy in life as you grow older and older, that’s why you see negative in people. roseanne lives a miserable life that she refuse to see good in people especially those who made a difference in this world.. roseanne, why not do something more productive and constructive in your twilight years? age gracefully!

I’m cracking up over here!

Doesn’t the bit** inhabit the media? Why did she go on a TELEVISION show? I think Chelsea from Chelsea Lately roughly said it best, “I love it how people who made their millions from television and entertain, and then turn around and turn their noses up on it.”

People who just rant and attack other people just because they have different opinions are unfair and stupid to me. She underestimated the power of this couple and was taken aback with the enormous response of her vile remarks . Many people love this family and appreciate the goodness they contribute to this world. I still believe that one has to respect the different political and religious beliefs of the other. I respect the silence on their political choice. For all the criticisms hurled on them they couldn’t care less. They have a happy and solid family. That is all that matters.

That fat lady apologized (sort of)? The damage has been done. It doesn’t make any difference. She is still stupid!!!

TO MISSOURI FAN,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU !!!

Jon Voight responded appropriately. The thrust of his defense is to attack Barr’s past history, her own transgressions and credibility. Voight’s argue persuasively that Barr’s sacreligious acts against our National Anthem and the US flag, are in of themselves, UNAMERICAN. Afterall, Old Glory and the Land of the Brave are America’s shining symbols.

The attack against him and his daugther were unwarranted, and motivated by desire for attention and political pressure to vote for Obama. POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY ! Barr was dead wrong. Jolie is a very stubborn woman and will not be bullied, pressured, nor persuaded by a lunatic.

Voight argument is compelling and even persuasive That his argument was limited to his own defense, and left Jolie out is brilliant - respecting his daughter’s silence and knowing that she is her own woman, and aptly able to defend herself. Brilliant strategy !

For once, father and daughter genes are overwhelming evidence that indeed they have the same DNA - intelligent and ably capable of defending themselves, individually - father voicing his political opinion, and daugther stubbornly maintaining her individualism and choice. Albeit with different political persuasions, maybe, just maybe they can begin to heal the past.

It has been argued that Jolie’s vote is her own business. I beg to differ. Jolie has become a political figure - a strong, intelligent advocate for education and children of conflict. Our country has flawed political, social, and foreign policies. Jolie is a strong advocate for reform. For that reason alone, her choice for POTUS will be controversial, criticized and always be scrutinized, regardless.

I am a pragmatist - we are in an unwanted war. There are 4-6 million refugees in Iraq-Iran-Syrian Border. Jolie’s choice to have our troops deployed in these region is a necessary evil to protect these refugees. They lost their homes and love ones, driven out from their own country, and not by their own choosing. Let’s not forget the cold fact - WE INVADED THEIR COUNTRY IN THE NAME OF OIL ! We owe these refugees a safe return to their own native land and rebuild their country. I applaud Jolie’s difficult choice, her pragmatism and realistic brain.

As in Islamabad, when pressure are mounting and criticisms that a “celebrity actress” is negotiating for better treatments of 100 displaced Afhgans, Jolie’s conscience was her only guide - to do the right thing. She’s a strong woman, and will weather the consequences of that choice.

Jolie for President !

===============================

This post made my day!.”onmyown”, you never fail to amaze me with your intelligent & thought-provoking posts. It’s very fortunate that you are a fan of Angie, who really came to admire her because of the goodness of her heart.

well….Voight just proved Roseanne right with her statement!

This gentleman also said that her daughter was a mental patient….all are crazy

if Roseanne hates this country so much, she should move to another one.

Well done Jon..!!! She deserved an answer like this….

feel for Roseanne @ 08/20/2008 at 8:27 am

It would best best if Jon kept quiet. By his own admission Angelina is not mentally well either. And she lies so much that she cannot keep her lies straight. What caused this pathological lying? Abuse at the hands of Voight? Same logic he used.

#199. Only people who spend time reading the tabloid state whatever you stated. Absolutely trash.
Voight is an outspoken, straightforward, tactless man, who should not be in any relationship as no one would keep his company even her own daughter. On the other hand, as a father, he has this instinct to love, care, and defend his children.
As a good woman Jolie, has good family, good relationships, compassion, wisdom and intelligence. A woman who is rare to find.
Is that not mentally well? Think twice will you?

sshhii_baby @ 08/20/2008 at 10:00 am

Seriously, are you people reading this in the dark? Please enlighten me.
Where do you read him defending his daughter and grandchildren? He is defending his political beliefs. Hence, “My allegiance to Senator McCain becomes stronger with any assault that tries to deter my loyalty to him.” As usual, it’s about him. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone. Now, I seriously understand why Angie wants to stay as far away from his punk ass! As possible! God! this man makes me sick!! *puke*

sshhii_baby @ 08/20/2008 at 10:33 am

Oh and I don’t believe Angie need him to defend her either. I just don’t think that her dad should be given any credit. Where was he? When Trump and Douglas was talking smack. He just coming out swinging because it’s about him and his political views. His loyalty to McCain NOT
to Angie. Don’t get it twisted folks!

Morning Jolie Pitt fan

I beg to differ; Jolie has not become a political figure. She is a humanitarian and an advocate for women and children in war torn areas; it’s the public who is trying to make her a political figure. She doesn’t directly talk about political views because she has to work with these various governments to accomplish her goals for those she is trying to help. Her association with these governments is NOT political it’s for humantarians reasons.

Why should she have to state publicly who she is voting for in the coming election? She has stated her views regarding the plight of those she is trying to help and has indicated that her vote would go to someone of like mind. That should be enough for anyone with out trying to throw her into some political arena. Now we have her running for office for which she has never shown an interest.

Her vote IS her business. She’s a smart woman, I’m sure she wouldn’t want who she voted for to over shadow the work she is trying to accomplish. It’s been stated that whatever choice she makes will be criticized. These governments whom she is trying to secure help from will also have an opinion about ANY choice that she makes PUBLICLY. How do you think she will get things done in those countries that may disagree with her? Angelina is not stupid, she is realistic and intelligent. She knows it is better to keep her vote to herself.

Love BAMPZSKV @ 08/20/2008 at 11:33 am

ITA. jaye as i have in the past with so many of your posts.

Well said..

Regardless of her upbringing she is an adult that should have some sense of responsibility.
But we are not suprised she does not.

onmyown @ 08/20/2008 at 12:46 am

ITA agree with you. I think that JV did respond in an appropriate manner. However, IMHO Angies as much as I agree with your assessment of her as a strong woman individually and as a humanitarina in the world scene is not political. I don’t think her causes are are political more humanitarian. She doesn’t aspire to
hold any office nor is she running for one. Her interests is more global rather than national. I think, her past efforts in Washington has been to more policies in places to help the displaced refugees of war torn countries. To me, that is not political but more foreign policy initiatives or suggestions.

# 203 jaye @ 08/20/2008 at 11:15 am

Thank you Jaye, ITA. You eloquently put into words what I was trying to say.

I don’t see anything wrong with Voight’s answer to Barr’s comments.
As Voight said, she is crazy, wants publicity,(any publicity) and will do anything in her power to get it. Nuts as Voight is, he did not mention Jolie or her kids and was smart enough to express his comments solely on Barr and not speak for Jolie or Pitt.

sick mind? @ 08/20/2008 at 12:53 pm

“I can only pray that good people see her for what she is (sick of mind).”

Why is ’sick of mind’ in parenthesis? Maybe he didn’t say she was sick of mind - maybe the sentence ended with “…see her for what she is.” Is this some editorial adding to make a point, by Jared or the press?.

please @ 08/20/2008 at 2:39 am

——-
Rosanne’s comments shows even celebrities ( I use the term loosely. She’s marginal at best ) believe everything they read in tabloids and on the internet.

It’s not the press who maligns Angelina and Brad, it’s the tabloid reading public who are spreading the trash.. Really, what horrible things are the magazines via editorials and the legitimate press saying about them? People have this perception that the world at large is against Jolie-Pitt; Blog owners , tabloid believers and Aniston sympathizers are not the world at large.

To explain her tirade against Brad and Angelina Roseann says she must attack the media’s representation of what is good and cool. Then in another breath she says the media’s image of them is smelly and vile. Can she be any more contradictory? She can’t just admit that she is jealous of their success and the media’s attention to them. She’d rather pretend that she’s taking some moral high ground. By her own admission she is being vile just to disagree with the GOOD image she thinks the media has of Brad and Angelina.

It’s a laugh that she is angry with the bloggers who published her comments. Why the hell is she BLOGGING? Simple, because she want people to notice her. She knew very well that her comments would be all over the internet. Everyone would be talking about HER which is what she wants. Good or bad press to some people doesn’t make a difference.

She also said, “Those who inhabit the media world of glamour and entertainment and fashion and gossip are horrid people who have no talent of any kind, and yet think of themselves as tastemakers,”

She was perfectly happy when that same media was following her around. Now that she doesn’t have a career or the attention, she’s bashing them. Roseann Barr is one of the most tasteless women in her personal and professional life ; she can hardly point her finger at someone else. She supposedly has a husband and children; instead of enjoying a happy life with them, she’d rather spend her days lamenting the demise of her career and criticizing others.

As for gossip, what does she think she is engaging in via her blog. She’s a blithering idiot and a hypocrite.

Jon Voight is right on this one

The intelligent arguments of Jolie-Pitt fans makes me so proud to be a JP fan unlike the posts of their detractors who are always using tabloid stories to trash them.

Rosanne was on the radio promoting her Las Vegas show. MMMMMM… Could it be thats why she decided to get in on the Brad and Angie band wagon. Just mentioning their name gets you publicity.

I find it so odd that the self righteous commit the very acts they accuse the object of their venom of committing, yet they some how find a reason to justify there behavior while condemning the same behavior in others. While it is easy for anyone to spiral out of control with the lethal weapon between their lips, is it really in anyone’s best interest? Rosanne is just venting the opinion of many people. People get tired of listening to someone pontificate about how much they love and care about the world, while they perpetuate the very hate and violence they condemn. So, Rosanne wants people to walk their talk; sounds good to me. Sure she could have chosen better words. Even with the words she chose, they were not pure hateful like Jon’s words. I am so thankful I have my own wonderful body to live in. I would not want to be either of these people. I guess that is why I am me. They both look cute when they are not talking.

Costa Verde, Braga, Portugal @ 8:30 pm 08-20

I left Laurencio Madridgal, Spaniard with a heartache. Pragmatist that I am, I never rely on a relationship that will never see dawn past Friday. Still, he will remain a part of my life’s scrapbook. I leave Spain with sadness, but heart intact. Memories are made of this.

Adios mi amor !

My brother Oliver drove. Quite a relief and at the same time torture, after driving by myself with BamBam all over London, France and Spain. His music is giving me a headache - heavy metal, annoying the way his head nudge up and down to the music. You can imagine - 7 hours of metal music. It’s like re-living our entire childhood - I switched the radio to Michael Buble, he switched it back to Mastodon and Twisted Sister. This happened from Segovia to Braga. ‘am shaking my head that Liv is a HF mgr. We had a brief stop, and I blogged ! BamBam and Liv played, run around like idiots. How can I get rid of Liv ?

Finally arrived in Porto and checked in at Alhambra Palace @ 11:00 am - after brief lunch, Bam and I drove to a nearby old village called Guiamares - 15th century old town - basically the same since time immemorial - simple living, like magical and enchanted village, clean and yet the services and amenities are modern !

My thanks to everyone who is following my travel - to Neleh, Neer, Jaye, Aeon, Mrs Smith, Hyacinth, Orchid, Oldie, Nike, Lurking, Oldie, Sonia, TRT, Cliniqua - sorry but I can’t remember all my cyberfriends; and those whose friendships, I have yet to win including SomeChick et al. Yes - we can all participate in a national discourse despite our differences. ‘am deeply flattered by your responses !

Lastly, Jaye and Aeon - when I get back to the Hotel tonight, we’ll cybertalk. GREAT POSTS - intelligent rebuttals. I don’t expect less from all of you !

But right now, I just met a Gallician from Lisbon. He invited me to dinner, much to Oliver’s brotherly objection. He is baby sitting Bam, and will be crunching numbers for Hedge Fund all night long. ‘am just glad to get rid of him at least for a few hours. Curfew is 3 hours - I reminded him, I’m older to which he retorted - ” just 2 years, and Dad says to make sure you behave “. Regardless, 3 hours is enough time for me to flirt. ‘am allowed !

‘later !

JJ We need a new positive Angie thread. I am sick of hearing about Roseanne Barr ( not well person) and X (manipulative person). Her brother made a positive comment on comcast.com. Brad and Angie are wonderful together, but I am beginning to think that Angie is taking all the negative press here and I don’t see Brad stongly protecting his woman. Come on Brad you can get pissed off at X now. SHe hhas used you and Angie long enough. You have your family to think about now. No more Mr. Nice guy!!!!!

well, well, well @ 08/20/2008 at 3:48 pm

The only person this ass-hat defended was a presidential candidate - not his daughter who by the way was the one being attacked. I think it’s fair to say that AJ would have given him a free pass to say “leave my daughter out of it” or maybe “I’m proud of my daughter and what she’s doing”. But no he made this about the politician he choses to support. It seems to be all about himself in his mind. But what can you expect from a man that doesn’t even know how to pronounce his grand kids name? And not to mention the fact that he feels that someone that has been abused is the evil one. Just further proof that the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree! It’s a FAMILY TRADITION!

AJ4President @ 08/20/2008 at 3:54 pm

Angelina Jolie does not need to be defended because there is nothing to defend. All people with their right mind knows she’s highly intelligent and she’s using her celebrity status for a good cause with her work with the UNHCR. Who cares about the opinion of a a HAS BEEN laughing stock in HW named Roseanne.

well, well, well @ 08/20/2008 at 4:00 pm

What in the name of god does this have to do with JA? It really kills you that she had the nerve to be MARRIED to BP doesn’t it? Wake up and smell the napalm and get over it already. You people amaze me. Do you even think about anything other than the fact that he was married to her? And any time Brangelina gets kicked it has to always come back to his ex wife. Wow - what a bunch of bunny-boilers.

to orchid @ 08/20/2008 at 4:09 pm

Brad will never defend Angelina because he has no balls. Angelina has defended him numerous times when people were labeling him wimpy she told that little lie about him being very manly or whatever.

Angelina is blinded By brad’s rotten tooth and botoxed shine on his face.

Jon voight, DonalD Trump , ryan seacrust, and Zeta Jones’ husband are all the same. Angie bashers.

All of them have attacked Angelina at one point or another. ********! Plus, BP didn’t defend Angelina against Dumpo truck or zeta’s husband (whatshisname), or Seacrust either. Pitt is a big *****, too and is probably still friendly with all of those guys. Just like Voight.

Yawn

Angelina has just brought another Jon Voight into her life. That what happens to many women who have bad fathers… they end up with someone a lot like the dadio.

well, both of us are sick of mind,
but definitely jon voight is MORE sick of mind than roseanne
JOHN MCCAIN? PLEASE! COME ONN, HE IS A DESPOT!

Parents LOVE - always be there. I believe that AJ and rest of the family have their own private life. They deserve it.

leave angie alone jenho @ 08/20/2008 at 4:50 pm

No way jenho. No way will brad go back to jenho who got peed on, rejected and dumped.

Just further proof that the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree! It’s a FAMILY TRADITION!
—————————
If you’d read his statement correctly , he isn’t saying Roseann WAS abused. He said that she CONFESSED that she was abused. That doesn’t mean that it was true. Her parents and her sister have denied the abuse took place and have called her a liar. He’s pointing out that if she lied about that , who can take her seriously.

Even if she had been abused and that’s a big IF, that doesn’t mean she would be incapable of being a lying, over-bearing, delusional, loud-mouth, publicity seeking, bitter woman. Nor does it make her in any way ’special’ and less deserving of criticism for her actions.

Given his past relationship with his daughter and their tentative relationship now, it is good that he only defended HIMSELF and didn’t bring her name into his statement. If Angelina felt it was necessary to say anything on her own behalf, she’s capable of doing so. More than likely she will ignore the ramblings of a clearly unstable person.

Just a short while ago Rosanne was bashing Obama. Here are some of the tidbits:

barak (her spelling) obama is an empty suit selling “hope” in lieu of Truth
.
He has no ideas, no plan and nothing to add other than the cynical pacification of the masses with bedtime stories about hope, while calling Unions “special interest groups” that need to be done away with.

When Americans find out that Obama backs right wing corporate racist anti worker bullshit, they will not vote for him.

That is what Roseann said about Obama. So now she bashes Jolie for not DECLARING she will vote for Obama. This must be some other Obama, not the one Roseann has sliced and diced on her blog.

If anyone thinks Roseann is sane, you need to spend some time in the looney bin with her.

passing Through @ 08/19/2008 at 8:42 pm These two lobbing insults at one another is the pot calling the kettle black. They’re BOTH off their freaking rockers!

———————————————-
my sentiments exactly!

Sometimes the best defense is to not say anything. Do not stoop to their level. Angie and Brad are busy raising their family. Angie has no time to pay any attention to trash, she is busy nusring the twins, taking care of the other 4 and taking care of herself. Don’t think anytime is left for trash.
There is a nice article in “HELLO” mag dated 8-19-2008. It’s not the one with Angie on the cover. It is a nice and sweet article about Brad, Angie and their family. They are talking about Maddox and his birthday how Angie is busy taking care of the kids.
In the same magazine is an interview of Jen when she was in London. Kinda funny for it is talking about how happy she is with J. Mayer. She talks about how your life is wonderful when you are in love. Have you notice that whenever she is interviewed or when every thing is going along good or appear to be going along good when she is in a relationship all of a sudden it is over. This happened with Brad, they were on vacation in Mexico, all hugged up and kissing in December then in January she files for divorce. With V.V., she appears on Oprah talking about how they are still together. The next week, they break up. With John, all the mags come out about how happy and in love they are, they are talking about marriage and having a baby. Then “wham”, John ends the relationship. There is something not right with Ms. Jen. She said in the Hello interview that she is very private about her personal life and she just doen’t understand why people would say that she does things to get attention. Some of her statement tells that she does read the blogs for the comments are related to what is posted. When asked about a family, her answer is weird. I really don’t think she really wants a child. She appears to be satisfied with her dog(s). She is compared the attention from her dog to that of a man; saying that she wished that a man would greet you like your dog do! When I read it, I just could not believe it. She may be getting close to 40 but from reading that article, I don’t think she really knows what she wants in life and do not have any goals set. One statement she said that will just want to keep making movies. Does not sound like a mature lady to me. Of course she talked about her body and staying fit.
Started not to post this but after reading that article I just thought it was so funny.

http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?id=56393&cat=2

Jen’s interview with “HELLO”, overview.

Don’t know about this chick. Her answers are not straight forward like Angie’s.

JJ should have a new thread with the cover of Hello Mag with Angie on the cover as the world’s most beautiful woman with an inset of Brad and Zee and down in the right corner an inset of ‘guess who’…………..but it’s great because Angie’s photo is looming over her with the ‘most’ beautiful woman’ byline. Hello got it right albeit I am a bit disappointed in them for once again shoving her puss into a photo with Brad and Angie. Seems cheezy, more like US Weakly rag style.

Hell i thought she died a long time ago. She certainly died out in HW a long time ago. I never could stand her. She played herself only they toned down the language. No couth too crass.
Angie would not give this truckouth the time of day.

This is a beautiful pic of Angie on the cover of Hello.
It sure would be refreshing to dump the two ugly faces above.

How about it Jared..??

http://www.hellomagazine.ca/

Looks so lovely..No wonder Brad loves her so much.
Beautiful inside and out.

Roseanne needs to go away forever…what has she ever done to help less fortunate people??? what does she do that is so great??? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! she shouldn’t cast stones…didn’t this mentally deranged woman give up her own baby??? and didn’t she make all her $$$ starring in a sitcom where she constantly verbally and emotionally abused her dysfunctional family??? how much of that money went to charity???

LoVe BamZSKV @ 08/20/2008 at 11:01 pm

WHY DOES THERE NEED TO BE MORE ANGELINA THREADS, LOVE BAMZSKV? sHE IS OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO STAY OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT BECAUSE SHE PROBABLY REALIZED HOW OVEREXPOSED HER FAMILY IS BECAUSE OF DUMBASS BRAD PITT.

REPLY TO: kim @ 08/19/2008 at 6:23 pm

You and Roseanne must have been reading incorrect data from the same media source.

For a start, neither Brad nor Angelina gets paid 40 million dollars a film.

If they did, a very large percentage of that would go towards tax. So they certainly wouldn’t be “taking home” such a huge amount.

Secondly, their charitable donations total a lot more than 3 million a year.

Thirdly, I bet Roseanne (and many other stars) either don’t donate to charity or wouldn’t donate 3 million a year anyway.

AJ & BP do a lot of good in the world by bringing the worlds attention to charitable causes and by donating a LOT of money themselves. I don’t understand why people would make snide comments about it. I can only come to the conclusion that untimely people are deep down envious or jealous of the pair and so people let their insecurities and petty jealousies cloud their judgement.

People in glass house shouldn’t throw stones.

So just how MUCH do people bad mouthing AJ & BP donate to charity each year??? Very little, if anything, I should think.

Stephanie @ 08/21/2008 at 5:15 am

I never, ever thought I would agree with Voight, on anything, but he’s completely right. I remember watching her E!True Hollywood story years ago, and Tom Arnold, her once husband, mentioned how she had something like 500 personalities, and 499 of them hated him. It’s widely known she’s mentally ill..

Celebrities should be role models, not bullies or taking shots at each other. Rosanne clearly did this for shock and media attention. She is receiving what she intended and most likely relishing the negative even more than the positive comments. It will be short-lived, and in a few weeks from now, Brad Pitt and Angelie Jolie will continue to live their lives as they choose, generally well respected and retaining their world celebrity profile. Rosanne will not appear in the media again until her next rant. Lastly, how much the Jolie-Pitts give to charity is their business, and the real value may and does not need to be known. Much can be done anonymously and/or through means other than cash, such as time, name etc. Many benefit from Jolie=Pitt’s generosity, and for that, I hope that many follow their lead as role models and give whatever they choose to give to charity. - just do it - give. For those who state any amount given to charity is not enough, you most likely assume that the glass is always half empty. Hope your glass one day becomes more than half full.

the child Z seemed restless , i think she wanted to go down but because it wasnt safe BRAD was struggling to keep her put , i have had many times with my kid were they wanted to do the same and accidently your touching their buttom or what ever , some people here need to go elsewhere . dont look for negatism in these two because in my book their are doing everything right. almost”

Good Morning All - Jaye and Aeon - my sincerest apology for not posting last night. After a day of running around and visiting unforgetable sites, then dinner where I had 2 glasses of vinho verde, I was dead tired.

Before I respond, for all of you out there, Portugal maybe a small country, but rich in culture and heritage. I was blown over by the people, the seafoods, old churches, museums and villages. The Euro dollars will go far. It’s surrounded with unbelievable beaches ! The French Riviera and Monaco while they glittered and well developed, the beaches here in Braga are magnificent, and reminiscent of God’s handiwork. What a religious experience - hearing the bells tolls from a distant and walking these magnificent beaches ! And the sky and the sea seems like one ! You almost have the feeling, that God is walking with you !

There is something mystic about Portugal - it’s no wonder in the old times, they came, they saw and they conquered. Today, Macau the finance capital of China is still under Portugal !

Imagine that !

Jaye and Aeon,

Yours are acknowledged with thanks.

I reject the premise that Jolie is not a political figure. By nature, Man is a political animal. Activism in any form - humanitarian, social, scientific, economic and cultural, is the ULTIMATE EXERCISE OF POLITICAL POWER.

Activism and advocacy, according to Aristotle, is the ability to recognize right from wrong;

That man is endowed with conscience to carry that burden to redress tyranny, inequity and injustice;

That man is endowed with intelligence to reason;

That man is endowed with speech to vocalize its protest and ultimately seek reform and solution.

Jolie is all that and more !

From Aristotle, to Plato to Socrates to present day activists, - Noam Chomsky of USA, and Fethullah Gulen of Turkey, the concept of political power was never intended to those who seek public office, or by virtue of political appointments. It was intended to those who seek to reform injustice to mankind. Being a politician or holding public office is INCIDENTAL.

Jolie, through her advocacy to promote justice for the refugees, children of conflict, and to seek international justice for war criminals makes her a passionate and ferocious political figure. That these causes propelled her in the public eye is only consequence of her advocacy, that too, is INCIDENTAL.

And to use your own argument - “Jolie is smart.” True - intelligence and savvy are the marks of a true politician. To quote Jolie, ” You never want to rub anybody the wrong way” . Jolie is able to navigate through the intricacies of international politics without being openly hostile. It’s called diplomacy.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. — Frederick Douglass

Passion - a sure mark of an activist. Jolie’s passion is unrelenting.
Sure, she is in the middle of storm in the process of her advocacy, and yet through diplomacy she is able to engage conversations with world leaders. They listen !

This country belongs to the people and whenever they shall grow weary of their government they can exercise their constitutional right to amend it, or revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it. — Abraham Lincoln

Indeed, Jolie is the ultimate politician. She joins the ranks of leading activist - Buddha, Dalai Lama. Gulen et al.

Jolie for President !

OF BEING SAVVY ADVOCATE: ANGELIINA JOLIE - THE ULTIMATE POLITICIAN

Angelina Jolie: US Must Stay In Iraq
February 29, 2008 8:01 AM

In a Washington Post op-ed -

“My visit left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis,” she writes.

“Today’s humanitarian crisis in Iraq — and the potential consequences for our national security — are great. Can the United States afford to gamble that 4 million or more poor and displaced people, in the heart of Middle East, won’t explode in violent desperation, sending the whole region into further disorder?

“What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made. …As for the question of whether the surge is working, I can only state what I witnessed: U.N. staff and those of non-governmental organizations seem to feel they have the right set of circumstances to attempt to scale up their programs. And when I asked the troops if they wanted to go home as soon as possible, they said that they miss home but feel invested in Iraq. They have lost many friends and want to be a part of the humanitarian progress they now feel is possible…”

onmyown @ 08/21/2008 at 12:54 pm

I totally agree with Angelina. All we need is a short trip in our past to see the wisdom of her words.

The time in question is the war between The then Soviet Union and Afghanistan. . The U.S. was a backer of the the mujahideen forces in Afghanistan. Bin Laden was one of the many Islamics who fought in the war. He felt that they, the Islamics, were responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union. Although U.S. were not mention as a contributor of the victory Bin Laden said the collapse of the Soviet union made the U.S. more haughty and arrogant.

The damage to the Afghani people was that 1 million of them were killed, 5 million fled to Iran and Pakistan; about 1/3 of the pre- war population. 2 million were displaced within the country. In the 80’s one out of every 2 refugees in the world were Afghani. Also 1.5 million of the engaged in the war were disabled. 3 million non-combatants were maimed or wounded. Many children were injured and killed by land mines. Surviving children were malnourished with malnutrition increasing with age.

One of the most damning things for the U.S. is once the Soviets left that country in shambles, the U.S. were no longer interested in helping Afghanistan. This is not my assumption, this is documented. After the Soviets left there was a huge increase in civil wars. The people born after the Soviet invasion know nothing else.

The U.S. helped to defeat the Soviet Union and then left the injured, the displaced of Afghanistan without hope. Many Americans are hoping that they have learned a lesson from that war. if you leave people without hope they become desperate. Desperation has a tendency to spread. People turned to groups like the Taliban because they offered them hope. The fall out from that desperation became and is still a National Crisis for the U.S. Those in power can claim that they didn’t see it coming after the Soviet-Afghan war, but not with Iraq. History should be a lesson.

onmyown @ 08/21/2008 at 12:54 pm

I see your point with regard to Political in the general sense. It’s has a BROAD meaning. Anyone who influences group opinions can be considered a politician. Even Mother Theresa while she was alive. However she hardly thought of herself as a political figure. I do not think from hearing Jolie talk that SHE considers herself as political either. She certainly isn’t in the least interested in obtaining an office, she just wants to receive aid and support for her Humanitarian endeavors.

In general terms any of us can be seen as political or as a politician in certain circumstances. My main point was and still is that she has no obligation to state her preference for President whether people see her as political or not. No one is demanding that everyone in congress or who is speaking out for their causes name their choice. No one is demanding Bill Gates, Warren Buff or Bono make their presidential choices known. People may WANT to know, but they have no inherent RIGHT to know. I don’t think Angelina’s position with the UNHCR comes with an attachment that makes that mandatory. Nor do I think Jolie gave up the right to remain private in this situation. If SHE chooses to divulge that information, that’s her business as well.

We can agree to disagree ;-)

We are still being pounded by heavy rain & wind gust at this moment, one fatality in our area. Three people vacationing decided to fight the mother nature & went surfing, 2 came out but the other one was not so lucky. My heart goes out to the family of the victim. Mother nature is not something to take it as a joke, you will never know what will happen if you venture out to the sea with high wind & waves.
Nothing is new. One more week before the Venice Film Festival, we will see Brad Pitt on the red carpet, hopefully, Angie can go with him. A day to be away from the children will not be bad specially when the in laws are there to watch the kids. I am still hoping Angie will walk the red carpet with Brad. I will watch Burn After Reading, the trailer looks awesome.
Hello senior, MF, vicki, anoble, alia,anustin, the real tita, gena, Dina # 1, passing through, Cliniqua,Felinelilly, Bailey,jjoy, & to all nice fans of Brad & Angie. God bless.

I hope Angelina goes , but it may be too soon after the birth of the twins. She may not have enough breast milk stored to be away from the children for more than a day. Maybe the twins won’t accept a bottle even if it is their mommy’s milk. Maybe Brad and Angelina don’t feel comfortable yet leaving their six children even for one day at the same time.

Maybe, you are right tabitha but I am still hopeful. Angie may also train the twins drinking milk from the bottle. Fay is till here moving so slow.
Peace & blessings.

I’m sure she’ll go. Every1 didn’t think she would go with Brad to the Jesse James premiere at TIFF and she did go.

Wow - Jaye, ‘am glad you share my love for history, you are quite a historian ! This war was under Bush 41, who unfortunately decided to cut and run. It left Afhganistan ruined and tend itself to rebuit.

Too painful to reminish. Indeed even now, our foreign policy is deeply flawed, and Jolie is an advocate for reform, focused on the children of conflict.

Indeed, we owe to this people a safe return to their country, or give them an opportunity to immigrate. I would prefer that we rebuilt their country.

Well friend, hope springs eternal. Maybe Jolie will be a part of that change. Here’s to new friendship !

Jolie in her interview with Charlie Rose and the transcript of UNHRC

groundcontrol @ 08/21/2008 at 7:22 pm

Why would she put herself through that hassle just for a red carpet walk? Brad can just fly over for some quickie appearances. What’s the rating on this movie anyway? He could bring the boys and his dad for a guys’ night out. I imagine she can go if the twins go with her. She may be up to every 4 hours but I doubt it. Naturally it depends on their weight.

I absolutely think Jolie is political but she has tried hard to stay bipartisan. That is a diiference. She certainly lobbies for legislation and funding. And please don’t get me started on Mother Teresa. Not a big fan here. For just one thing, she was totally opposed to any type of family planning even when women desperately wanted it and needed it.

I love that the vast majority of readers at the Washington Post trashed Roseanne’s lttle tirade. The WaPo readers even trashed the transparent and imbecilic FFers and MLers who swarm comment sites with their embarrassing hate filled and nonsensical posts. They are so clueless.

groundcontrol @ 08/21/2008 at 7:46 pm

Forgot to add that I have thoroughly enjoyed onmyown’s reports on her travels. And even cast a worried eye on the news when I heard about the crash in Madrid. Glad you are still with us. How morbid I sound. Sorry.

onmyown and Jaye,

I am floored by your responses. I don’t think I am as intellectually incline as both of you. I am just a simple girl. Although I do have an interest in politics, I am just an amateur compare to both of you. But I will try to respond back to both of your descriptions on what defines or what it means to be a “political figure,” in our time. More specifically as it relates to Angie. Unfortunately, I am very busy at work and have not had the time to past. I hope to have responding post (it may be long) for you soon (weekend).

OT: onmyown,
Based on your last comment, I don’t know if you have a problem with Jill. But just to let you know, IMHO, I think Jill is pretty cool despite her acid tongue or because of it. I find her to be sarcastically funny and on point . I think she just wanted us to join the other fans on the other thread so they can also participate in our conversation. As you hinted earlier we are all independent rational thinkers. This is not intended as an offense in anyway, just building bridges.

Also thank you for the great descriptions of your travels of Europe. It sounds like you are having fun and relaxing. I know I am jealous stuck here busy working.

Dont blame Brad Pitt for what your daddies and his brothers did to you probably still doing you from your first memories to now.

Its not Brad Pitts or Angelina Jolies fault you came from a family of inhumane sexually perverted freaks. Nor is it their fault that you turned out to be such a hateful ingrate,bigot racist and liar .
I have read you before so writing in caps doesnt change who you are.

Normal parents like Brad and Angie for one can and do play with their children. Tickle them on their bellies, legs, arms, feet head neck , all the crooks and folds of their chubby skin. They hold them without a thought as to where their hand is, change their diapers bathe them , clean their ears, wipe their noses, rub their backs, kiss their bo bos (scratches and scrapes) wherever they may be, clean their eyes when full of sleepy crust , clean their bums, etc
and hug them long and gentle all in the name of love
Thats something you have a problem with. Your problem Not Brad Pitts.
Touching your child or a person you love is normal not dirty the way you percieve it. One more time >>>>It is called love even better unconditional love and its a beautiful thing. Something again that comes natural to most people.(normal people)

You just happen to come from a very fffed up family where the gruesome act of pedophilia is the norm to you but Listen Up actually it is a mental disorder of adults (your family) which causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of your day to day functioning. Thats YOU! The way you think b/c of your experiences with your daddy or moms many b/fs and Uncles Johnny Jimmy cousin Jeff. Come on You remember maybe different names but you know what they did to you.
So you think all the people you hate for no reason like Brad Pitt are just like your family of perverted male predecessors who did you dirty. Wrong!

You know dam well deep down in your messed up head and gut that Brad Pitt is not doing anything inapproprate to his daughter
So dont bother using Brad as an example of what your inbred family put you thru. Your contempt for both Brad and Angie is b.c Brad fell madly in love with Angelina Jolie and that makes you more nuts
And now the twins are here so naturally your evil issues are distressing you more than usual. Seek Help!

For Alison Carroll, a receptionist at a golf club, being chosen to be the new face of Lara Croft was a dream come true.
She has revealed that she will only be happy if she were as good as actress Angelina Jolie.

“It’s strange to be following in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie. She’s amazing and if I can be anywhere near as good as her Ill be happy.”

Lara Croft has been played most memorably by Nell McAndrew, who did the same kind of promotional work that Carroll will be doing, and Jolie, who starred in the two Tomb Raider films, and both have inspired the new face.

“I would love to meet them but especially Angelina. She’s brilliant and has always been a role model of mine. I love her acting. She is so very talented and beautiful. Before I even auditioned I watched the films over and over and played the video game to make sure I understood the character perfectly.”

I love angelina but I have to agree with Roseanne. I definitely do not agree with any sort of allegiance towards McCain though. Roseanne is wrong in thinking that it was solely the fault of Republicans … Democrats definitely had a hand. There’s just something seriously wrong with american politics but hey this is a gossip forum so… let me stop here.

Hey Jared!!!!!!!! @ 08/22/2008 at 4:45 am

Hey Jared, make a new post on the sales results of the People Magazine TWINS issue, and make sure you point out it’s the 4th biggest seller in People Magazine HISTORY!

[CUTE AND CUDDLY PAYS THE BILLS: A total of 2.6 million copies. That’s how many newsstand issues of People with the exclusive photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s newborn twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, have sold, according to sources close to the magazine, citing early sales estimates for the issue. People and Hello reportedly snatched up the exclusive baby photos for a wallet-busting $14 million, the cost split between the two in some manner. People scored the domestic rights for the images; Hello bought the international ones.

The issue is the biggest seller in seven years, and is the fourth highest newsstand seller in the magazine’s 35-year history, behind the Sept. 11 issue (4.1 million single copies), the issue covering Princess Diana’s death (3 million) and the one covering the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. (2.8 million). The June 19, 2006 issue with the exclusive baby pictures of Brad and Angelina’s first daughter, Shiloh, moved 2.2 million newsstand copies (perhaps the extra Pitt-Jolie baby provided a bigger draw this time).]

New Thread PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! So many new thing to write about.

Palace Hotel do Busacco, Coimbra, Portugal

“Had my last dinner with Liv who remained in Braga to finish his bank business, and will catch up with us in Coimbra. It’s about 1hr driving along the Mediterranean side with long stretch of silvery sand. The other side is a verdant forest. BamBam had to do her business, so we stopped along a beautiful garden, a tourist rest area. At 6:00 pm, the missions bells rang, and everyone bowed their heads for 1-2 mins, then bowed to each other. In deference to that tradition, I bowed and greeted them too. What a wonderful tradition !

Palace Hotel do Bussaco is in the middle of a very thick and winding forest towards heaven. The architecture- Manueline-Gothic architecture where in yesteryear’s 1800 the last King of Portugal lived, and was converted to a luxury hotel sometime early 1900. From up top my room, you can see the Mediterranean like a never ending flat mirror, intersecting with the billion stars in heaven. I dressed up for supper to meet the guests - oh my - so this is how the royalty lived. Sky is the limit in food and wine - the best of Portuguese cuisine - huge lobsters, and all kind of sea food. Then the after dinner wine and chat in another yet magnificent room, then there is the customary dance called “Fago” with the guest - an intricate, very romantic dance.

I did not sleep in that luxury bed, instead, I dragged the comforter put in the veranda, and where I lazilly watch the moon, billion stars and the sea. BamBam curled underneath. God really made this earth perfect !

Tomorrow is a distant far far away !

Thanks for thinking about me. You have ESP. Madrid was never in my itinerary because of Basque separatist movement, and the blast at the train station. But Liv had business at Banco Madrid, so he phoned me from Monaco to drive to Madrid instead. There are 5 of us, 4 brothers, and I don’t get to see them often. So I drove to Madrid.
Canary Island is the biggest attraction during this height of summer vacation, but Liv and I opted not to go. Thus we avoided that plane coming back from the CI.

It was not our time to go.

In college, although I was pursuing Pre-Med/Med School, I was an activist. My heart goes to the Basque movement in terms of giving them equal rights and representation in Spain’s government, but I don’t favor a separate state for Basque. All through out Spain’s history, the Basque had been disparage and marginalized. They deserve equal standing in Spain. Basque history is a very rich - interesting reading. Perhaps one of this days, we can cyber talk.

In another topic, glad at least we see eye to eye that Jolie is a political figure.

Thanks as always,

aeon @ 08/21/2008 at 7:55 pm onmyown and Jaye,

Aeon, I read your post, it’s far from being simple. Your are well informed. Remember that always.

As to Jill, whether she realized or not, she has many critics. I am not the only one. She had been called many names - disgusting monikers, and for the sake of F1, I let it go. She had been called the N words, which I find reprehensible. I immediately emailed JJ, the they were deleted. I will not defend her when she is right, no more, or no less than I would for you or anyone else. Simple as that.

Sure, I admire her off beat criticisms and snarks, and yes they are funny. She is also a defender of Jolie. I give her that. But she create havocs. She’s got this wide mood swings - unable to conduct civil conversation - always angry and hostile. Then suddenly, she is sweet and gracious. She’d been my critique all these time, and that is find with me.

Truthfully, Jolie will not approve the way she criticize children - Suri for one is only 2 years old. Jill has taken up a mean offense against this little girl. That is not acceptable in my view. am sure Jolie will not tolerate that !

This is a community blog, and we should be at least civil to one another even if we disagree on issues.

sorry: ” i will defend her when she is right, no more, no less …

Dear Neer,

Neer, thanks for the link. It would be too too hard for me to think that Jolie will not reprise her role as Lara Croft. But, hey the new Lara at least like Jolie.

On another matter, ‘am deeply flattered by your comments. Jaye, Aeon and Groundcontrol makes it easy for me. Just great conversations with them.

I always loved your analyses of X and her predicaments. You have a way of sorting and shifting through her psychological profile. You have that talent. I believed we talked about it . I read you comments, and here is a confession, I have my secretary print everyone else, a continous profile of everyone else writing. I relate better that way.

‘now, am going to the “centro”, it’s like a public mall about 3 km from the palace. They apparently selling African fabrics etc. I have to bike my way around this place. it was a little bit nippy this morning, i woke up in the veranda, where the sunrise, a huge orange ball is coming up the horizon. God, what a beautiful country !

later’

he was totally right in what he said…
its none of her business who he decides to vote for…
personally i dont like her at all she’s nothing but a piece of white trash I’m sorry but that is how she behaves she doesn’t care what she says or looks like.

I saw the pictures of the new Lara Croft, Ms. Carroll , in her Lara gear. She’s no Angelina. She doesn’t have any spark or expression at all. Angelina looked fierce. She could handle a gun , kick your a-s-s and mean it. This woman looks like she’s a little girl ( albeit busty) playing dress up. She’s a pretty girl, but she doesn’t look like she could have beaten me up when I was in the fifth grade. I don’t see ‘attitude’ in her pictures. I wish her well and hope that if they make another movie, she’s better in live action.

*****************
Oh Jaye, this breaks my heart ! Yes, that attitude has to be there. Do you know why Angelina did not sign up for the role ? I play them once a week I have to just see them. She had that scene with the butler where she “walked that walked”, b utt naked. No body will take her place. This really makes me sad.

It’s funny but Portugal has many theaters where they show older films of Angelina. She is quite popular here in Europe - no scratch that - very popular in Europe. Spain and Portugal are just showing Wanted. She’s presently getting ad on TV.

By the way - I bought HOLA mags here, twice Angelina has been on the cover, and also the August series of Vanity Fair [Europe edition]. When I get back, maybe I’ll have subscribe.

Anyway, are you now safe in Florida ? My youngest brother is there now, I heard it’s been raining for the past 4 days. My parents have a summer house in Palm Beach, with the beach just in front. We usually spent summer there, but we are all grown up now, and everyone has left the coop - again scratch that. They actually booted everyone of us - once we graduate, we can’t go back. I thought being the only girl, I would be an exemption, but Mom was the one who kicked my out of the house.

One of this days, I’ll invite you to see mom’s place. We’ll have a good time. Bring your hubby and your children, you’ll be my guest. This is an open invitation !

‘later.

Sorry, it’s the vino effect - i meant fine

Sure, I admire her off beat criticisms and snarks, and yes they are funny. She is also a defender of Jolie. I give her that. But she create havocs. She’s got this wide mood swings - unable to conduct civil conversation - always angry and hostile. Then suddenly, she is sweet and gracious. She’d been my critique all these time, and that is fine with me.

Truthfully, Jolie will not approve the way she criticize children - Suri for one

Palace Hotel do Busacco, Coimbra, Portugal

“Had my last dinner with Liv who remained in Braga to finish his bank business, and will catch up with us in Coimbra. It’s about 1hr driving along the Mediterranean side with long stretch of silvery sand. The other side is a verdant forest. BamBam had to do her business, so we stopped along a beautiful garden, a tourist rest area. At 6:00 pm, the missions bells rang, and everyone bowed their heads for 1-2 mins, then bowed to each other. In deference to that tradition, I bowed and greeted them too. What a wonderful tradition !

Palace Hotel do Bussaco is in the middle of a very thick and winding forest towards heaven. The architecture- Manueline-Gothic architecture where in yesteryear’s 1800 the last King of Portugal lived, and was converted to a luxury hotel sometime early 1900. From up top my room, you can see the Mediterranean like a never ending flat mirror, intersecting with the billion stars in heaven. I dressed up for supper to meet the guests - oh my - so this is how the royalty lived. Sky is the limit in food and wine - the best of Portuguese cuisine - huge lobsters, and all kind of sea food. Then the after dinner wine and chat in another yet magnificent room, then there is the customary dance called “Fago” with the guest - an intricate, very romantic dance.

I did not sleep in that luxury bed, instead, I dragged the comforter put in the veranda, and where I lazilly watch the moon, billion stars and the sea. BamBam curled underneath. God really made this earth perfect !

Tomorrow is a distant far far away !

Roseann is a bitter Hillary supporter who can not let go.

JV is supporting a 3rd Bush administration. Bush is an idiot and useless president and McSame is a wannabe Bush.

People, pretty please use your God given noggins and vote for our only hope for change!

Obama/Biden 08

I hate John Voight.
And I know it’s hard for all of you because we all love Angelina (or whatever) so much…but if you actually took in and thought about what Rosanne had said, as brash as it was…she had a point. There is no way to deny that.
She wasn’t only bashing Angelina, she was outright curious in her accusations, like she really did want to know.
Freedom of speech and all that…isn’t that what you Americans are so fond of saying?
Calm down, get over it and move on.

I have always thought that Rosanne was nothing but trash. Why anyone would even bring attention to anything that she says is beyond me. She has to talk vile about SOMEONE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than herself to get any attention at all. Rosanne, go find a trash dump somewhere and pitch a tent because that’s where you belong. Love ya Angelina and Brad!!!!

roseanne barr is her own worst enemy. someone should grab a hold of that woman and tell her shape up. if necessary find a good pyschotherapist because god knows she needs to visit one. she is way over due

I admire Jon for standing up for what is best for this country despite what a bunch of over paid druggies who suffer with eating disorders say about him.
Jon you will have treasures in heaven…Thanks be to John McCain for picking Sarah Palin….we need REAL WOMEN of substance to admire on TV…PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY for He alone is GOOD ALL THE TIME….Jon Voight I will pay big bucks to see any movie any time you or your daughter make. ROCK ON..

Jon Volte is a weirdo as is his daughter. They both seem to like other people who are involved and/or married to other people. Funny that Angie didnt talk to her father for years because of his cheating on her mother yet she has broken up not one, not two, but three marriages by cheating. Then throws these stupid guys out like they are nothing when she is finished. I guess they deserve it for cheating with her.

MACAIN IS (DUMB), VOIGHT IS (STUPID) ROSANNE’S IS A LITTLE (OFF) BUT, THANK YOU ROSANNE FOR TAKING UP FOR OBAMA … I THOUGHT ANGELINA JOILIE WAS DEALING WITH A FULL DECK, NOW I’M HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS!

VOTE OBAMA………VOTE OBAMA……. VOTE OBAMA……

Roseann Barr has always been off in the head and she has no right saying anything about anyone elses political beliefs.
What has Roseann Barr done in Hollywood besides screw up the National Anthem?

YOU GO JON VOIGHT: MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever. Roseanne is a hideous chud and IDGAF what she says, however, I am disappointed in the fact that Jolie would back McCain. I hope that is not true. Otherwise, I will no longer be a fan of her movies or do-gooding. I am sick of what this country has become. We need change. Go Obama!
